I would love to know how Dave is doing. If Dave is well enough I would like to meet him for a few minutes.
Thank you.
Is this information still valid? I am a retiree who sawDave perform many times many years ago . Recently my grandson told me he wanted to continue his study of the flute and I suggested he HAD to hear Dave’s music. I had no idea of this tragedy. I will share the information and contribute. His music and his style is not forgotten.
I went to JHS 133 with David, my name is Maribel, I was in the band and orchestra, I think he will remember me. I would love to come see him. I will be in NY for the summer.
I had the honor of seeing Mr. Valentin perform at the Blue Note and other venues in NYC. I even saw him at Orchard Beach riding his bicycle but I was too shy to say hello and tell him how much I appreciated his special gift. I can always tell when he’s the flutist on any given recording because its uniquely his sound and his soul.
My prayers are with you always. You have enriched my life more than you’ll ever know.
